Sounds like a plan. Additionally we could go with radio buttons "( ) Continue
numbering, (o) Restart numbering here" to make it perfectly clear.

Okay, let's drop it (not sure if this easter egg is implemented intentionally).

What users expect is something like

#1 First
Lorem ipsum
#2 Second

Today, #2 is not connected to the list above. If we go with radio buttons the
option "( ) Continue numbering" would be disabled if it's the first list in the
document but otherwise checking it changes the list id regardless any text.
